NOTE – Keep in mind that we took this hike and these pictures represent the trail as we saw it in December, 2009. The trail may have changed a bit since them and some of the flora may no longer be exactly where we are reporting, but this is a good representation of things you may find along the way. Perhaps you will find even more intriguing highlights.
Of course the large rock formations and mountains will remain largely unchanged.
Hikers along the Peralta Trail
As you can see, this was a beautiful December day for hiking. One thing to note, however, is during the winter when the sun goes down, the desert has a tendency to cool off very quickly; bring appropriate clothing.
The picture above provides some insight into what hikers might find along the trail. Notice that there is some boulder scrambling and stepping on rocky surfaces.
